8. My Story Visited Nevis on vacation January 2007 Visited Nevis on vacation January 2007 Something struck me while I visited the home. It appeared to me that there were no structured activities for the seniors. The vision was that I should go back to Canada and share my experience with my family I returned to Nevis and delivered the items I met with a small group of friends and associates in the health care profession We formed the St. Kitts Nevis Circle of Care in April 2008.
